Bruins Move Visiting Bench Tunnel

The TD Garden in Boston is undergoing a massive, multi-summer renovation. This summer, the building is closed for 10 weeks to replace the seats, add penthouse premium level seating, replace the scoreboard, and a number of other arena upgrades.

What hasn't been discussed, but has been confirmed by the team's official seat locator as well as Ticketmaster's, is that the visiting team will no loner be able to access their locker room from the bench. That tunnel is being removed and a new one is being opened up for the away team near the corner of the rink.

While nothing has been officially stated as the reason for this move, it would appear that the Bruins have expanded their locker room this summer, or in recent years, creating a longer walk to the locker room for the visiting team. Their locker room is most likely now closer to that corner of the rink.

We will continue to track the progress of The Garden's renovation.
